Chapter 866: Sharpening the Knife
“You’re not one of them?” Yun Chujiu looked at the man with a faint smile.
“Of course I’m not! As a disciple of the Heavenly Gates Sect, why would I join those G.o.dly Devil Hall scoundrels?” The man replied with a face full of grief and indignation.
“Since you’re not a member of the G.o.dly Devil Hall, go ahead and declare the master of that sect a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” The corners of Yun Chujiu’s mouth curled up as she looked at the man with a mocking expression.
The man had never expected Yun Chujiu to make such a request. F*ck, how could a normal person make such a request? She was the devil incarnate!
The man had sworn to be loyal to the master. If he insulted the master, he would definitely be breaking his oath. The man’s eyes flickered and he tried his best to think of a way out of his predicament.
A few disciples from the Heavenly Gates Sect who testified that the man had been to the Eupatorium Valley shouted, “Senior brother Liu, if Yun Chujiu wants you to scold the master, just do it! What’s the big deal? We don’t need to hold back when insulting the G.o.dly Devil Hall! What’s so difficult about doing that?”
“That’s right, what’s so difficult about that? The fact that you’re in such a difficult position can only mean one thing. You’re a member of the G.o.dly Devil Hall.” Yun Chujiu looked at the man with a burning gaze, thinking that even the noisy ones could sometimes be useful.
The man was now in a dilemma. He definitely could not insult the master. He would be d.a.m.ned if he insulted the master and still d.a.m.ned if he did not. What should he do?
The man was so anxious that he could not think straight. He could only say dryly, “Hmph! How can a gentleman insult others?! Moreover, your words are too vulgar.”
Yun Chujiu sneered, “Insult others? Vulgar? Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself! You don’t have to keep up the act anymore. In fact, you have already exposed yourself. It doesn’t matter whether you do it or not.”
The man showed a trace of panic, “You’re spewing nonsense! You are the one who slandered me!”
“I have never said the words ‘G.o.dly Devil Hall’. How did you know I was referring to them? You just admitted it! You have a jade token engraved with the Red Spider Lily with you, you knew the name of the force behind the spider lilies, and you dare not to insult the Lord of the G.o.dly Devil Hall. What else do you have to say for yourself?
“Everyone, don’t you understand? He deliberately instigated things so everyone would target me and we’d start killing each other. Think carefully, which of his words did not involve instigation or the stirring up of trouble? He did this because he wants to keep us in here so that we fall prey to the schemes of the G.o.dly Devil Hall!” Yun Chujiu said with a sneer.
Although the onlookers were stupid, they were not stupid. The evidence was so clear. If they still didn’t believe it, then there was something wrong with their brains!
Their faces were full of shame. They wished that they could find a hole to hide in. They quickly directed their shame on the man by hurling insults at him.
“Liu Li, you heartless thing! We trusted you so much. You actually joined the G.o.dly Devil Hall, you shameless sc.u.m!”
“You’re a backstabber and traitor! People like you should be cut into pieces!”
“No wonder you provoked us to go against Yun Chujiu. It turns out that you had evil intentions. Yun Chujiu chopping off your right hand was the right move. Not to mention your right hand, she should have taken your life!”
…
Yun Chujiu found things to be funny in her heart. The people’s standpoint had changed so quickly. There were also benefits to being stupid. It was easy to fool them!
Yun Chujiu looked at the half-dead man on the ground. “Tell me, how do you want to deal with us? If you are not honest, I will do as they say and chop off your left hand then the both your legs!”
Yun Chujiu took out a whetstone as she spoke. She held out the large kitchen knife and started menacingly sharpening it…
